Canopus - Session Superior 5.5x14 Snare Drum - Russet Brown Fade Lacquer

SJC Drums introduces the Alpha Steel Black 6.5"x14" Snare Drum, a dynamic instrument engineered with a 1mm flat black steel shell that delivers crisp high frequencies and an aggressive acoustic attack. This specialized steel construction allows your playing to cut through dense audio mixes with ease, making it a reliable choice for both studio recording and live stage environments. The drum showcases a unified all-black visual aesthetic featuring a flat black shell finish, matching flat black hardware, and low-profile single tube lugs that securely anchor tension rods while complementing any existing drum kit color. Built for structural durability, it is outfitted with heavy-duty 2.3mm triple-flanged hoops that ensure long-lasting tuning stability and consistent rimshot performance over extended playing sessions. For precise mechanical control, the shell features an immediate drop-style throw-off strainer to quickly engage or disengage the responsive 20-strand steel snare wire setup. Complete with performance-ready genuine Evans drumheads pre-installed out of the box, this snare drum was designed by the SJC team in Massachusetts and precision-manufactured in Taiwan to deliver bold and brilliant tone at an accessible price point.

The UV lacquer finished Maple shell and 8-tension classic tube lugs combine to give a solid sound. With the legendary Canopus Vintage Snare Wire and Bolt Tight as standard features the quality is so high that the price seems unbelievable.
